Default My dealer wants my pride and joy

Did anyone else get a letter stating their dealer wants to buy back their Xfire SRT6. They were offering me any used Jeep or Chrysler car for trade. Ill find the actual letter and Ill post up what it said exactly. Most likely someone was looking for this car so they send out letters to people who own them

I guess they are starting to realize how RARE we are.

I didn't know if this was normal since its my first car and all. Although to me its a joke since i got 9k milies on the clock, wouldn't make much sense to trade it in already.

They must have overlooked that.

got a new avalanche so the 07' altima with 21k miles is on auto trader for $16,500. I got a letter from Chevy and couldn't resist. New 08' Aval for $24376 over 10k off msrp. Was $3500 cheaper than I paid for my 07' Aval in late 06'. Crazy deals out there. I got suckered into a smoking deal.

typical dishonest sales tactic that **** poor crooked dealerships use to try and get you to buy a new car. Print out this thread and mail it back to them along with their letter they sent you lol. I would avoid them at all costs when you look for your next car.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance his from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).

I have run into this twice in the last three days. It's tough trying to find
someone really selling a used car. This was a 2005 Civic Hybrid, 37K miles for $4975.. I'm tired of scams.

Hello again,
Like I told you in my first email,I was recently divorced and I won the car in the divorce trial.
The car is located at the shipping company warehouse from Chicago, IL.
If you want to buy the car, we need to open an agreement offered by eBay Motors to finish this deal.Cars.com advised me to use the eBay services because Cars.com never get involved in any kind of transactions.
The eBay Protection Program is the best escrow service.I used it in my past transaction and I trust it.
In this way you will have the chance to inspect the car before pay me, and I will be comfortable when I'll ship you the car.
The terms of the agreement: We agree on details of the deal (vehicle info, price, time of shipping), you make the payment of $4,947 (this amount will be everything you pay to have it delivered to your door) in their account to be hold and I will start the shipping to you as soon as the payment to eBay is sent.
The car will be delivered to you in couple of days depends of your location.
All you have to do after the delivery is to inspect the car, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then decide if you APPROVE the car or RETURN. If you approve the car you must notify eBay to release me the money. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it, you can return it on my expense and you will get a full refund of your money, no questions asked.
Because I'm the seller, I need to open the transaction, so if you agree, please provide me your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. After this, eBay will contact you directly with the transaction details and all the info about the process.The vin number is :JHMES96695S000735

Please e-mail me your shipping address in the following format:

Receiver Name-

Street Address-

City, State, Zip Code

I'm looking forward to hear from you

RoncoSRT6,

Usually if there is no number listed and it's way below kbb, then it's a scam. I had one guy overnight me a fake check for a car I had for sale a few years back. I just sold my 07' Altima S for $15,500, wish I knew you were looking for a car.

Cruzin, my 18yr old would of loved that car but we are looking
more in the $4-5K range. Hard to find something good.
I did submit a fraud complaint to car.com and actually received
a response. Person pulled add before they could investigate.

I'm selling my 65' Rambler Marlin, two unique cars in the same garage would be pretty cool.
